Imo rewatching the replays, he lead with his shoulder and the helmet contact was incidental and rising also dipped his head as well. Remember the rules changed this year a bit. The guy didn't launch, rising wasn't defenseless, guy didn't lower his head on the hit, he DID turn and his shoulder hit first. It was VERY close, but the hit didn't LEAD with the helmet. 5050 it gets called either way.
